No Donna Edwards, I Don’t Care

11:35 pm EST July 13th, 2009 | Media, Politics | 3 Comments

Donna Edwards, who happens to be my member of congress here in Maryland, just sent out the following to her email list.

Yay, Politico named you to a perfectly arbitrary list! Look, I don’t have any serious problems with Rep. Edwards and she has so far demonstrated the kind of values I want to see in my Rep. that we weren’t seeing in Al Wynn. But trumpeting insidery lists from Politico is the path to faildom. Politico, in the larger sense of people in congress working for us, does not matter one bit. In fact, its an impediment to getting things done in congress thanks to the noise it shoots out.

Members of congress shouldn’t be trumpeting it when Politico lauds them. In fact, the less Politico is involved in congress, the better for democracy.

    When the world started getting so bad that we ran the risk of nearly leaving political cynicism behind, Politico stepped in and said, “No. This country needs an online version of Crossfire! Because the game of politics is more important than the results.”

    Saying that, for a rookie Representative, this is still major publicity she can’t ignore, I suppose.

    You don’t have any problems with her? Jeepers creepers, she’s the best new member of Congress there is! If God decided to make all new members of Congress he’d make them in her image! You should dancing with joy that we got rid of that faker Wynn and got someone we can actually be proud of!

    I think I made it pretty clear I’m quite happy with Rep. Edwards.
